Texas Breakdowns

Hello my fellow Texas Smarties. Right now, our Texas is broken down into Dallas, Houston and Texas.

Well, I asked a moderator about maybe breaking it down into more of a 3 sub class system to make it easier for our big state to communicate. I suggested instead of Dallas, due to there are a lot of different cities up there, having a North Texas chapter.

For the Austin and surrounding areas, maybe Central Texas chapter.

And, for Houston, a South Texas Chapter.

Well, it is up to you all to put down what you think.

I would love to see a Central Texas Region. We here in Central Texas are by NO means Dallas or Houston and feel as if someone has forgotten about the center of the state. We are just as proud of our Smarts as the rest of Texas and the United States!!
I vote YES for a Central Texas Region.

I agree. How about something like this. Note that this is a VERY rough idea -- I did not zoom in to see which cities were directly on each side of the lines, and I think it's up to folks in regions like Bryan/College Station to decide where they'd rather drive -- east, central, or north. I was going for the overall number, size, and general location of the regions.

I picture:
* Panhandle
* North Texas
* East Texas (includes Houston)
* South Texas
* Central Texas
* West Texas

Looks good. Considering Texas is like HUGE. It should have more of a breakdown. It is too hard to get everything put out. But, reason I had it down to 3 was that those 3 locations are where the dealers are and the most smart population. I would imagine it could be updated later on when West and East come online more with cars. As for pan handel, they are North Texas any way you look at it. But good ideas. Not sure what the Moderators / Admins will do. I asked and thus the reason for my post.

I do think we need at least a Central Texas region that includes the greater Austin/San Antonio area. The Smart Center Round Rock guys told me they've delivered 300 cars (not sure about the San Antonio dealership), so there are plenty in this area. And Dallas and Houston are LONG drives. Perhaps a North Texas (DFW, the panhandle, northeast Texas), an East Texas (Houston, gulf coast), a Central Texas (San Antonio, Austin), and a West Texas (everything west of Junction).

I dunno. Amarillo and Lubbock are far enough. They are so far from us that it takes into question what dealer is theirs. And El Passo is closer to the NM smart centers.
